Hi,

my database backup process for a web app reaches the IPv6 only database 
server via IPv6. I would love to modify the corresponding service that 
is started from a timer to not have AF_INET in RestrictAddressFamilies.

But since systemd-resolved listens on IPv4 only and the stub-resolv.conf 
that my /etc/resolv.conf is linked to only consider IPv4, I need to 
allow AF_INET for the host to resolve.

Please consider adding the possibility of using systemd-resolved 
IPv4-less in a future version of your package.

Greetings
Marc
